For the second year of Tiny Spaces Deep Connections (TiSp), artists are invited to apply for one of six residency spots taking place between May and August 2026, which will take place in Athens (Greece), Oulu (Finland), and Potsdam / Berlin (Germany).
This residency offers a unique opportunity to slow travel using public transport, while creatively integrating the journey into your artistic process. The residency begins the moment you leave home: you are invited to create process-based work while on trains, ferries, or buses, connecting with cultural or cohousing spaces along the way. Journeys are designed to include stopovers and visits to inspirational cultural organisations. Artist studios in Oulu, Athens and Potsdam are recycled from unused tiny buildings. There will be a group exhibition and symposium in Oulu during August 2026.
INFO
AMOUNT
The fee is 3000 euros gross for the one month residency that includes the time required for the travel, plus travel expenses, depending on the journeys. Accommodation and daily costs will be provided.
